（转自朱葵《箴言妙语诵读》）

  We can choose our attitude even though we can not always choose our circumstances.

  我们不能选择我们的处境，但我们可以选择我们的态度。

  The choice is either to act like a victor or a victim.

  选择要么做个受害者，要么做个受益者。

  It is not our position, but our disposition that determines our destiny.

  并非是地位，而是我们的性格决定我们的命运。

   Your living is determined not so much by what life brings you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happpens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.

   你的生活在很大程度上并非取决于生活给你带来了什么，而是取决于你对生活报以什么样的态度；并非在很大程度上取决于在你身上发生了什么事，而是取决于你如何看待所发生的事。
